President Donald Trump has issued a statement in response to Iran’s retaliation following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

On Monday, Trump took to Truth Social to announce that the United States very effectively countered Iran’s attack on U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraq. He also thanked Iran for providing early warning of the strike, which he said helped ensure that no lives were lost.

“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered. There have been 14 missiles fired — 13 were knocked down, and 1 was “set free,” because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE. I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured.”

The president then wrote that he hopes there can now be peace in the region.

“Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he continued.

Trump released a second post thanking Emir or Qatar for everything he has done to seek peace in the region.

“I’d like to thank the Highly Respected Emir of Qatar for all that he has done in seeking Peace for the Region. Regarding the attack today at the American Base in Qatar, I am pleased to report that, in addition to no Americans being killed or wounded, very importantly, there have also been no Qataris killed or wounded. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

“CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!” Trump concluded.

Israel DESTROYS Iranian Nuclear Reactor; Russia Declares China ENEMY

Israel has hit and destroyed the IR-40 Heavy Water Reactor near Khondab Iran only hours ago, with footage and satellite data showing the initial impact and destruction of the dome of the reactor vessel, which was used to create weapons grade plutonium for the Iranian regime. Israel has been hit by more Iranian ballistic missiles over the course of the last few hours, and has vowed to take out Khomeini and has high confidence that even without US support Iran can only survive a few weeks longer before the government inevitably collapses or is wiped out. US war preparations are still ongoing, with the US shipping fresh blood transfusions into the region, along with the shifting of assets and personnel out of harm's way. Russia has also declared China an enemy state in a classified security service paper that was leaked to the press, stating that China is an "enemy hunting for new technology and innovations." Ukrainian forces have also hit the city of Orenburg, some 1000 Km (750 miles) inside the Russian Federation this morning.

10:55 AM – Thursday, June 19, 2025

The Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz accused the Iranian regime of “war crimes of the most serious kind” after an Israeli hospital was decimated by an Iranian missile.

The Iranian missiles slammed into Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel on Thursday, causing significant damage while leaving 71 individuals with “minor injuries,” according to Israel’s Ministry of Health. Soroka is the largest hospital in the Negev, a large desert region in Southern Israel.

Additional Iranian missiles slammed into a high-rise building, along with several other residential buildings, injuring a total of 271 people on Thursday.

“This morning, Iran’s terrorist tyrants launched missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and at a civilian population in the center of the country,” stated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran.”

“We accurately hit nuclear targets and missile targets, and they hit a hospital, where people can’t even get up and run away,” he continued. “That’s the whole difference between a democracy that acts according to the law to save itself from the murderers and against these murderers who want to destroy each and every one of us. Every single one of us. Down to the last one of us. I think that says it all.”

Katz explained that Israel will retaliate to the attacks by instructing the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) to “increase the intensity of attacks against strategic targets in Iran and against government targets in Tehran in order to remove threats to the State of Israel and undermine the ayatollahs’ regime.”

“These are war crimes of the most serious kind — and [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei will be held accountable for his crimes,” he added.

Meanwhile, Professor Asher Bashiri, the director of the maternity ward at the hospital, recounted the aftermath of the attack.

“It looks unbelievable,” he stated. “The upper part of the building is cracked, and fire was coming from it in the first hours. Everything looks broken.”

“We were very, very lucky,” Bashiri continued. “It could have been so much worse. But we are still living in an unbelievable situation. It’s not finished – I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, or the next day. We’re just happy that we’re alive.”

Additionally, Iranian state media responded to the attack, arguing that it was targeting a “large command and intelligence headquarters of the Israeli army and the military intelligence camp located in the Gav-Yam technology park, adjacent to Soroka Hospital.”

“These centers host thousands of military personnel, digital command systems, cyber operations, and the Zionist army’s C4ISR systems,” Iran’s state media continued in a Telegram post. “The hospital was only exposed to the blast wave and sustained no significant damage; however, the military infrastructure was precisely and directly targeted.”

The news of the hospital attack comes as Israel and Iran continue to trade airstrikes following Israel’s “preemptive” strike against Iran last Thursday in an attempt to destroy Iran’s ability to create a nuclear weapon, and potentially topple the Iranian regime.

In a recent interview on Fox News, Netanyahu stated that regime change “could certainly be the result” of Israel’s military offensive, while also seemingly calling on the Iranian people to rise up and topple the regime, adding: “A light has been lit — carry it to freedom.”

Striking members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) have agreed to return to work for the time being.

On Thursday, sources announced that the two sides had reached a tentative agreement on wages and that they had agreed to extend the master contract until January 15th.

Thousands of dockworkers abruptly walked off the job early on Tuesday morning.

ILA has around 50,000 members working at a number of ports. The ports stretch all the way from Maine to Texas.

The two-day walkout disrupted sales of American businesses overseas, as well as the majority flow of containerized imports and exports into the United States.

The last time East Coast and Gulf Coast workers went on strike was back in 1977. The strike lasted seven weeks.

BREAKING: Port strike suspended, ILA agrees to 62% wage hike

A union representing 45,000 striking U.S. dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports has reached a deal to suspend their strike until Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate a new contract, a person briefed on the matter said. The union, the International Longshoremen's Association, is to resume working immediately, at least until January, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement has yet to be signed. The agreement will allow the union and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents shippers and ports, time to negotiate a new six-year contract. The person also said both sides reached agreement on wage increases, but details weren't available. The union went on strike early Tuesday after its contract expired in a dispute over pay and the automation of tasks at ports from Maine to Texas. The strike came at the peak of the holiday shopping season at 36 ports that handle about half the cargo from ships coming in and out of the United States. The walkout raised the risk of shortages of goods on store shelves if it lasted more than a few weeks. But most retailers have stocked up or shipped items early in anticipation of a work stoppage. A joint statement released Thursday said both sides "reached a tentative agreement on wages and have agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues." Effective immediately, all current job actions will cease and all work covered by the Master Contract will resume."

Port Strike Leaves BILLIONS Of Trade In Limbo. How Bad Will This Get?

Port workers along the East Coast have officially gone on strike, and the effects this could bring on you and your grocery store could be detrimental. National Right to Work Committee President Mark Mix joined Blaze News Tonight to lay out why this strike is happening and how you may feel it in your bank account, as if this strike goes long enough, you could see your grocery bill increase even more.

Israel carried out strikes against Iran early Friday morning in retaliation against Tehran after it fired a bombardment of missiles and drones at Israel last Saturday. 

According to Fox News, the strike by the Jewish State was “limited.” Multiple sources also stated that the U.S. was not involved and there was pre-notification to the U.S. from Israel. 

Explosions were taking place in Iran’s Isfahan province, which is where Natanz, one of Iran’s nuclear facilities, is located. 

Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi, the commander-in-chief of Iran’s army, said that the explosions in Isfahan were part of anti-aircraft systems shooting at what he claimed was a “suspicious object,” which did not cause any damage, Iranian news outlet IRNA reported. 

Additionally, details surrounding the intended target of the strike were not immediate, but according to Fox News the target was “not nuclear or civilian.” 

Iran’s Fars news agency reported on the sound of explosions over Isfahan near its international airport. Meanwhile, Isfahan is home to a major airbase for the Iranian military, as well as sites associated with its nuclear program. 

It has also been reported that a senior Iranian official allegedly told Reuters that Tehran had no immediate plans to respond to the Jewish State strike, which was described differently on Iranian state media. The explosions that were heard in Isfahan were allegedly a result of the country’s air defense system activating and was not a missile attack, the official told Reuters. 

The strike from Israel came hours after Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian claimed that if Israel carries out any further military action against Iran, its response would be “immediate and at a maximum level.”

“If the Israeli regime commits a grave error once again, our response will be decisive, definitive and regretful for them,” he added, noting that this warning had been communicated to the White House via the Swiss Embassy in Tehran.

Meanwhile, Iran temporarily stopped all commercial flights to Tehran and across areas of its western and central regions in response to the attack. However, restrictions have since been lifted on flights to and from Khomeini and Mehrabad international airports in Tehran, according to Iranian news agency Tasnim. 

“The safety of our passengers and crew is our priority. "We are monitoring the situation closely and will make changes to our flight paths in consultation with the relevant authorities,” a FlyDubai spokesperson said. “We will share any further updates once more information becomes available.”

Before the strikes last weekend by Iran against Israel, Iran had never directly attacked Israel, instead they had relied on proxy forces in Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere.

Iran threatens to strike American bases if US backs Israeli counterattack

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/04/iran-threatens-to-strike-american-bases-if-us-backs-israeli-counterattack; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Iran is now calling the shots, thanks to a weak Biden administration, which has enabled them. Not only is Iran threatening a harsh retaliation against Israel if Israel attacks in response to the hundreds of drones and missiles that were launched against it on Saturday; Iran is also threatening to strike US bases in the region if America supports an Israeli counterstrike. Iran is witnessing the Biden administration cower and do its bidding by pressuring Israel also to appease the Islamic regime.

Hamas, meanwhile, supported Iran’s attack on Israel as “a natural right and a deserved response.”

Iran and Hamas aim to obliterate Israel and ultimately to establish a global Islamic caliphate, and there are no limits to the violence they will employ to achieve this goal. Appeasing them encourages and enables them, as it does other jihadist groups.

“Iran threatens to hit US bases if Washington backs Israeli counterattack,” Times of Israel, April 14, 2024:

Top Iranian commanders warned Israel on Sunday that the country would face a bigger attack if it retaliates against overnight drone and missile strikes, adding that Washington has been told not to back any military action from its ally.

“Our response will be much larger than tonight’s military action if Israel retaliates against Iran,” Iran’s armed forces chief of staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri told state TV, adding that Tehran warned Washington that any backing of Israeli retaliation would result in US bases being targeted.

“If the Zionist regime (Israel) or its supporters demonstrate reckless behavior, they will receive a decisive and much stronger response,” Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi said in a statement.….

…. “We in Hamas regard the military operation conducted by the Islamic Republic of Iran as a natural right and a deserved response to the crime of targeting the Iranian consulate in Damascus and the assassination of several leaders of the Revolutionary Guards,” the Palestinian group said in a statement. Israel is engaged in a war, now in its seventh month, with Hamas after the Gazan terror group killed nearly 1,200 people and abducted 253 in a shock onslaught on October 7….

U.S. Warns Iran Will Strike Israel Soon

US intelligence warns an Iranian strike on Israel is imminent, possibly with missiles or drones or both, but Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells CBN News Israel can respond quickly and decisively to an attack; President Biden says the US “commitment to Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad,” but Congressional Republicans, working on a resolution to support Israel in its war against Hamas, speak out against Biden’s criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying Biden has become an “anti-Israeli President;” Chris Mitchell talks about Yoav Gallant’s background briefing, where he discussed Israel’s military capabilities and the situation in the Middle East, Israel’s humanitarian aid plans, and his own background; after Americans have fled some major cities because of crime, drug abuse and homelessness, those cities have reversed their lax liberal policies and are now cracking down on crime; and pastors Mike Signorelli and Greg Locke talk to CBN’s Global Lane about how God is transforming lives and setting people free, and their new film, “Miracles at the Movies.”

Biden’s Strikes Against the Houthis Haven’t Touched a Fraction Of Their Arsenal

No, you didn’t misread that. Biden only struck 8 locations.

Two months later, the Houthis, an Iranian-backed Islamic terror militia that took control of much of Yemen due to Obama’s Arab Spring, are continuing to terrorize shipping in the Red Sea. The Biden administration’s efforts to stop their attacks have failed to end the violence.

Why? Let’s look at a few basic numbers.

In response to the latest Houthi attacks, the Biden administration and its allies launched the fourth set of airstrikes against 8 locations.

No, you didn’t misread that. 8.

Compare and contrast that with how many locations the Israelis had to strike to finally end the barrage of Hamas rocket attacks. After all the media condemnations, that is what it takes to stop an Iranian terror proxy.

We don’t have hard numbers on the size of the Houthi arsenal, but the Shiite terror group was able to launch over 1,000 rocket, drone and missile attacks across 7 years. Beyond utilizing the existing Yemeni arsenal (likely the subject of much of Biden’s airstrikes) that they captured as a result of the Arab Spring, the Houthis have plenty of Iranian weapons and like Hamas, weapons manufactured under Iranian guidance.

With hundreds of Houthi attacks launched in 2021, Biden’s attacks are woefully inadequate for dealing with the scale of their arsenal.

The Biden administration knows this and it’s not even trying to address the problem. Instead, two months in, it keeps threatening that consequences will eventually arrive.

“We will continue to make clear to the Houthis that they will bear the consequences if they do not stop their illegal attacks, which harm Middle Eastern economies, cause environmental damage, and disrupt the delivery of humanitarian aid to Yemen and other countries,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned.

It’s been two months. If there are consequences for terrorizing an international waterway, they should have arrived already.
